Glenn's car from TheEuroShop? ...

 

MelloCooper - That was me probably in the New Coupe I drive from downtown to the WI/IL border to and from work everyday.

(and I realize now that my signature is still a pic of my old MINI, Bumblebee, which was sold on 12/25/2011)

 

Sold?? I thought you were keeping it.. Congratulations!!

 

I tried to catch up to give a wave but got bogged in traffic and figured it was too dark anyway.

 

Steve - realized i wont be able to drive manual for at least a year, until i can get back surgery done and recovered, and i figured bumblebee needed to be driven. it made a great x-mas present for someone though im sure.

Mellocooper - yea, i tend to drive very fast too :-) but i remember seeing you. im just used to no one waving, so i dont even expect it anymore :-(

 

Yes, I live in Mundelein as well. Now have a JCW coupe` in addition to the Clubman. I'll keep an eye out for you.

I was driving from WV to Mundelein to drop off my older brother after our road trip to visit mom for the holidays and, while in Mundelein, I was turning north onto Butterfield from 60 and I honked at a red (I think red) 2011+ Cooper S stopped at a light who then caught up to me, honked and waived and zoomed away. I wonder if he/she is on here.

 

Spotted a White MINI tonight at about 10:15ish travelling south on 294, he caught up to me and returned my wave :-) I was in my blue Coupe S.

 

I SAW YOU!! (and the white MINI...) Unfortunately, I was driving the BIG yellow truck with the trailer... I had a 67 Pontiac Lemans on the trailer... And there was NO WAY i was going to catch you.. or the white one!! I would have been driving MY mini... Damn brother's cars.. .why do they always break down when I want to have fun?!!

 

Saw a black/white S w/ tow plate in Bolingbrook Jewel parking lot

 

I have a PW MCS (laurel edition). Honk when you see me!! Been waiving at other MINIs and no wave back, getting tired of it

Don't try to race me though, i'm putting down 205 to the front wheels. Nah! I'm just playing .

 

I saw a nice looking black MCS with carbon fiber looking (or flat black) stripes and backed out rear lights on I-55 going south. I was going relatively slow until you blew past me and I had to catch up and drive at your pace! I enjoyed the nice spirited caravan! Great looking car!

 

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... but, come on! They just bought a 2012 and park half a block away from my house usually. It's the same body/roof colors and stripe design/color. So I park next to them... yes, that will show 'em!

Low quality picture because I can only sneak up on the other car at night with my iPhone... it scampers away during the day! I want to set up a play date with the other car.

 

Yesterday, saw an all black Countryman S with red racing stripe and roof rack heading west on 88. Followed him for a while once we both got off at Rt. 59.

 

Saw a nice red jcw with white stripes on red roof at Home Depot Mundeleinn saturday, "UBER MINI"

 

Pics or it didn't happen! ;-)

 

That would be my '09 Clubman JCW.

 

Ha! I saw you again going up 45/83 Friday in the ice...

Thanks for the wave!

EDIT: And welcome to NAM too.

 

Reviving this thread for this:



This is outside the Best Buy in Glenview. There was also a Countryman S in the lot, but didn't park next to us. :(

Also, why does my car look massive next to yours?

 

My guess would be the obvious... you're parked closer.. but also the bonnet end of the R56 is biggg, the boot end.. smaller in comparison I think. R53 FTW!!

 

I am having trouble figuring this one out even considering the perspective angle! They look too out of proportion to each other! When I parked my R53 next to an R56 at a Mini dealer, that is when I could see the size difference in the cars.

 

I live in Geneva so I drive throughout Kane County. But you'll find me mainly on Randall rd, Kirk, rt. 38, rt.31 and rt. 64 among others. I drive an '09 Lightning Blue Clubman w/ a JCW grill and black sport stripes, so if you see me be sure to wave! I try my best to wave at all the other Mini's I see!

 

Picked up paper from Alphagraphics in Wheaton and I parked behind a cooper clubman...



...and there was another cooper hardtop on the other side of the road!

 

I saw a grey one with red mirror covers last week. Wondering if it's someone on here. It was near 41 by the Botanical gardens. Very nice looking!

 

Sounds like a GP....
